Sara Dimerman in conversation with Janyce Lastman about the impact of stopping and starting school during the pandemic. Over the course of this episode you will learn more about:

• The impact that this has had on parents, students and teachers.
• Some of the most challenging aspects of both having kids at home with their parents 24/7 in addition to online learning.
• What parents and teachers can do to help support kids when they are asked to stay away from school.
• whether there will be gaps in learning or whole years worth of learning lost as a result of how going back and forth to school has been managed.
• How parents can best equip themselves to help their kids prepare to go with the flow.
• What strategies, plans and resources can be put in place to support the current climate of education – in Ontario, Canada and around the world.
